I can.

No matter what, I have to survive and thrive in these 2 gruelling weeks. My thesis, my test, my report and my presentation are all at stake. While i pray for strength and determination as well as wisdom, I also remember the articles on the Pope's call against condoms in HIV/AIDS stricken africa.
Yes, condom is a very practical and efficient way of possibly reducing the spread of the deadly virus. However, i can understand where the Pope came from. It is against his religious teachings to use contraceptives. It is also not religiously right to be engaging in sexual infidelities for all the followers. So when one plus the other, you get the Pope's point of view. Be sexually faithful or abstain from sex. Besides, abstinence is the guaranteed way of not getting any STDs or HIV/AIDS since condoms may have that 1% chance of failing to work. I think social workers should still promote use of condoms but tap on religion to persuade fidelity and encourage abstinence. So i can understand why everyone so worked up but is it necessary?

Okay back to the papers. God bless me and my hopes. :))

and so she ponders, wishes & scribbles
